BALTIMORE – On Saturday, September 13, 2025, Baltimore stood still at 2401 Belair Road. Community members, descendants, elected officials, clergy, and scholars gathered to lift up a truth that bulldozers and backroom deals tried to bury. Laurel Cemetery — once the sacred resting place for tens of thousands of Black Baltimoreans — was given its rightful due with the unveiling of a new commemorative sign, now visible from Belair Road. “We are here so that Laurel is not forgotten — so that the names of those buried here are not lost forever.” — Dr. Elgin Klugh, Coppin State University Laurel…

(BALTIMORE – July 23, 2025) – While I spent my early years in East Baltimore, most of my upbringing took place on the Westside — at the home my mother owned on Moreland Avenue, near Baker Street. She moved there in the early 1950s, back when the neighborhood was mostly non-Black. I grew up in the 1500 block of Moreland, right across from Easterwood Park. No disrespect to the surrounding blocks, but I lived among Black royalty on what I still call the greatest block in the world. Most of us attended Matthew A. Henson Elementary School #29. For me,…
